Zhuge Youde Street, the Embassy of the Ming Empire in the Rakshasa Empire.
When Guo Xiaobao hurried over and saw Wei Yuanda, the ambassador of the Ming Empire, and Huang Shuren, the deputy military attache, the two men were already preparing to go to the Winter Palace to meet Nicholas I.
Wei Yuanda is from Shaoyang, Hunan. He is only in his thirties this year. He is not tall, with a big head and a small body. He has high cheekbones, small but bright eyes, a mustache, and a bun on his big head. ——Most men in the Ming Dynasty are still used to combing their hair in a bun. However, officers and soldiers of the army and navy all shave their heads or have their heads shaved. This is to facilitate suturing and bandaging after injuries, and to maintain daily cleanliness and hygiene. Wei Yuanda is a civilian, so of course he does not have to abide by military regulations.
This Ambassador of Wei also came from a noble family. His ancestor was a subordinate of Li Jinzhong King Li Dingguo in Hunan, and he was later made a count. Although the Earl's House cannot be compared with the House of the Eight Heroic Kings, as long as one is outstanding, it is easy to stand out in the officialdom. Wei Yuanda was a child prodigy since he was a child. At the age of sixteen, he was admitted to Jinling University, which was the most difficult to get into in the Ming Dynasty. He majored in international politics and became a diplomat after graduation. He successively served in Britain, France, Prussia, Austria, Turkey, Switzerland, and Rakshasa. He visited all the Western powers. He also wrote a book introducing the current international situation and advocating military expansion and preparation for war. The book is called "Pictures of the Sea Country"!
Well, it's the same "sea country", but the ambitions are very different.
Because "Hai Guo Tu Zhi" was written very well, the big bosses in the Ming Dynasty all thought that he was a talent. They also saw that he was from a noble family and could be regarded as one of their own, so they promoted him and sent him to Luo Chaguo became the ambassador. Unexpectedly, after less than a month as emperor, I encountered the death of Alexander I and the two Rakshasa princes pushing each other for the throne...
As soon as Wei Yuanda got up this morning, he heard that the Guards of the Rakshasa Kingdom were about to rebel. He immediately realized that there was an opportunity and quickly sent Zhuge Weidao and Guo Xiaobao to the Winter Palace to rescue Natalie Pavlovna - Romanov The dynasty has produced many female czars. If all three sons of Paul I were killed due to civil strife, this Natalie might become Natalie I!
In order to ensure that Grand Duchess Natalie could escape, Wei Yuanda also ordered Deputy Attaché Huang Shuren to go to the Navy Pier next to the Admiralty Building to pull in help from the 4,500-ton cruiser Ningyuan - this was a ship that came to Peter A friendly visit to Fort, and by the way, I will show you the fast dome-armored cruiser of Ming Dynasty’s shipbuilding technology. Because the Rakshasa Kingdom has not decided whose armored ship to purchase, the Ningyuan and the officers and soldiers on it can only stay in Petersburg for the winter.
However, when Huang Shuren took the ambassador's order to the pier near the Admiralty Building to pull people, the battle on the nearby Winter Palace Square had already been decided, and Nicholas I won a great victory!
Now that Nicholas I had won, Huang Shuren gave up the mission of rescuing Natalie and returned to the embassy alone, preparing to accompany Ambassador Wei to meet Nicholas I.
As soon as he and Ambassador Wei were about to go out, Zhuge Weidao's military attache secretary Guo Xiaobao hurried back and brought back a very exciting news - Zhuge Weidao, the little fox of the Zhuge family, was hit in the head by a bullet. I am either stupid or not, suspected of amnesia.
"What? Zhuge Daozi lost his memory? Is it true?"
As soon as he heard that his immediate boss had lost his memory, Huang Shuren, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, immediately became energetic - of course he was also from a noble family and was from Xinhui, Guangdong. His ancestors followed the king of Zhennan, Wang Xing, and later became a Viscount. Of course, this kind of background cannot be compared with Zhuge Weidao, the queen of Wu Zhongwang, so he is five years older than Zhuge Weidao, and his military qualifications are much older, but his military rank is the same as Lieutenant Colonel of the Navy, and he is still serving as Zhuge Weidao As Tao's deputy.
If nothing happens to Zhuge Weidao, I don't know how long he will be able to serve as deputy military attaché!
Wei Yuanda was also surprised and asked hurriedly: "Baozhi, what's going on?"
After hearing this question, Guo Xiaobao also looked confused. He shook his head and said: "Ambassador, to be honest, I am a little confused... Zhuge Daozi seems to have forgotten something. It may be that he is. What strategy are you using?"
"A trick?" Wei Yuanda was also a little confused, "What trick was he using? What did he want to do?"
"How do I know?" Guo Xiaobao spread his hands, "Those people from the Zhuge family are all like monkey spirits... Who can guess their thoughts?"
"That's true," Wei Yuanda frowned and asked, "How did Grand Duchess Natalie Pavlovna react to Daozi being injured?"
Guo Xiaobao smiled and said: "Of course she was dying of panic. Daozi took that shot to save her, and she teased Daozi a lot before, which made it clear that she had that intention..."
Wei Yuanda coughed and interrupted Guo Xiaobao, "Baozhi, what are you talking about? The Grand Duchess wants to be the Queen of the Ming Dynasty! This must be made clear beforehand. Just this sentence, you will have to go to Jinyiwei's prison!" "
Guo Xiaobao stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "Ambassador, if it were the Ming Dynasty, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would never marry a Rakshasa princess as his queen!"
Huang Shuren on the side was also a little puzzled, "Isn't that right? I don't know what Prime Minister Zheng, Prime Minister Zhuge and Queen Mother Zheng think? A Rakshasa girl, even if she is pretty, cannot be a queen!"
Wei Yuanda snorted: "Isn't this obvious? Grand Duchess Natalie Pavlovna has the right to inherit the Rakshasa throne. Her children with royal family members of the same family can also inherit the Rakshasa throne."
Huang Shuren shook his head: "But Paul I had many children, Nicholas I already had a son, and Natalie is Paul's youngest daughter, so she is very low in the ranking of presumed heirs."
Wei Yuanda smiled: "That is the big plan of the Zhuge family. It is said that it has been planned since Daozi's father's generation... They can figure it out!" As he said that, he glanced at Guo Xiaobao again, and then Pointing to his head, "Daozi is injured here, can he still do it?"
"Okay!" Guo Xiaobao said, "Daozi said, this matter will be taken care of by him... But he has to take a few days off and stay in the Winter Palace to recuperate."
"Stay in the Winter Palace?" Huang Shuren frowned, "You won't be too friendly with the Grand Duke, right? The Rakshasa girl is very liberal in this regard..."
"No," Guo Xiaobao shook his head, "The Grand Duke is still in perfect condition, and Zhuge Daozi has been restraining himself. He is measured."
"That's good, otherwise Empress Dowager Zheng and Prime Minister Zhuge will be furious." Huang Shuren nodded and said, "Baozhi, hurry up and send electricity to the Naval Secret Reconnaissance Department and the Zhuge family! Ambassador Wei and I are going to the Winter Palace to meet with Xi Jinping. Czar, let’s take a look at Zhuge Daozi.”
"yes!"
...
"So handsome, so damn handsome, so damn handsome! He needs to be tall, he needs to have looks, he needs to have muscles... If he looked like this and traveled to the 21st century, Huang Mouming would have to lean over. Depend on!"
The person who was standing naked in front of a floor-to-ceiling mirror and talking to himself was, of course, someone dressed to look "rich, rich, handsome and powerful" - Zhuge Weidao was quite tall, not even 1.8 meters but 1.7 meters tall. He was eight years old, with a fairly well-proportioned figure, neither fat nor thin, but muscular. Although his face was a bit dark, his skin was very white. It was obvious that the dark face was tanned by the navy. However, Zhuge Weidao's black face is also a very handsome black face, with very straight facial features, a slightly high forehead (you can tell he is smart at first glance!), and fine beard roots on his cheeks and chin, which makes him very manly.
It’s no wonder that this appearance can charm a female grand duke of Rakshasa Kingdom!
In addition to Gao Heshuai, Zhuge is also rich because of his righteousness. I haven't remembered how much money his family has, but the check stamp that can withdraw 30,000 silver yuan has been found - a mutton-fat white jade seal! And it's still a big piece. You can tell it's good just by looking at the quality. It will be worth a hundred or eighty thousand in future generations. If your family has no money, can you use a white jade seal like this?
In addition to being tall, handsome, and rich, Zhuge Weidao estimates that he is still a powerful man. A young man from one of the eight great families of the Ming Dynasty, whose father is also a marshal, how could he not have power?
Tall, handsome, rich, and powerful... I will soon marry a Grand Duchess of the Rakshasa Empire, and she is also a great beauty. I am really proud of my life!
He was enjoying himself here when suddenly there was a knock on the door of his bedroom, and then Natalie Pavlovna's voice came from outside: "For the sake of truth, can I come in?"
"Can...wait."
As soon as he said the word "can", Zhuge Weidao realized that he was standing naked in front of the mirror and looking at himself in the mirror... Although everyone has a love for beauty, he had just been hit on the head. He was shot and was suspected of being beaten unconscious, and now he is looking naked in the mirror, which is a bit abnormal.
So Zhuge Weidao quickly walked to the bed, lifted the quilt, got in and lay down, and said in Russian in a desperate tone: "Natalie Pavlovna? Please come in."
The door was quickly pushed open, and Natalie was seen walking in with a maid holding a small table full of food.
"Weidao, are you hungry? I've brought you something to eat." As she spoke, Natalie took the small table from the maid's hand, and then placed it on Zhuge Weidao's bed with her own hands. She also He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Zhuge Weidao, who had a blooming head, with an affectionate look on his face.
Zhuge had been working on the road for a long time, traveling through time, developing his brain, and becoming a "rich, handsome, and powerful". He really had no time to think about eating. Now that he saw a table of food, his stomach immediately began to growl. .
Hearing Zhuge Weidao's stomach growling, Natalie smiled and said, "Weidao, eat quickly, it's all what you like."
Zhuge Weidao lowered his head and saw that there was beetroot salad, a pickled fish with an unknown name, a can of red beef, a plate of kebabs, a bowl of beetroot soup, and a piece of pie.
"Then I'll eat first." Zhuge Weidao was really hungry. He picked up a skewer of barbecue and a piece of pie and started to wolf it down. The food was so delicious that he destroyed both the barbecue and the pie in a short time. .
After eating barbecue and pies, Zhuge Weidao's spirits improved a lot, and the wound on his head didn't hurt much anymore. He seemed to be able to grow leaner soon, but the lost memory still hasn't come back... ...
But it doesn't matter, as long as he soaks Natalie in his hands now, he will have completed the task. He can slowly regain his memory after going back. But how should I pick up this girl? In his previous life, he was an honest boy, not very good at picking up girls, and he had never picked up girls of Natalie's caliber.
When he was thinking about how to pick up Natalie, Natalie had already taken the initiative to speak: "For Dao, has your memory recovered?"
"Recovered a little bit." Zhuge Weidao's lies came out of his mouth.
"Then do you remember your mission to Petersburg?"
"Remember, I will take you back to Ming Dynasty." After saying this, Zhuge Weidao looked up at Natalie and found that her cheeks were red and she was smiling with her lips pursed.
"Natalie, are you willing?" Zhuge Weidao felt that the time was right, so he "proposed".
"I'll have to think about it."
"What? You still have to think about it? Is it the reserve of the Grand Duke?" Zhuge Weidao thought: "I didn't even prepare flowers or rings. It was really rude... I went back to use some public funds to buy flowers and rings. , and then propose again, then it will definitely succeed!”
While he was thinking about it, Natalie blushed and spoke again: "For the sake of truth, just now the British Ambassador Thomas Staunton proposed that I marry the British Crown Prince of York and the Duke of Albany... He also said , as long as I can give birth to an heir for the Hanover dynasty, the British royal family and Parliament will no longer interfere with my private life, and will also give me a large annuity so that we can live together in the future without anyone interfering. What do you think? How about this plan?”
